Bare with me, I'm new. What are the benifits of using Vendio to host several items on Ebay? Ebay allows their stores to list for 30 days for one fee. With Vendio I am paying for 3, 10 day cycles, right?

A Store front is not the same as an auction. If you list an auction directly through eBay, the insertion fees will be the same. The only difference is that you pay Vendio so much per auction for their sevices. It seems to me that you are confused about auctions & storefronts. They are NOT the same.

Thanks. I do however know that there ARE Ebay Stores AND Vendio Stores. Ebay STORES will list articles for 30days for the cost of a seven day listing. This offer is only good for Ebay Stores.

Please clarify your question.
If it is how long a Vendio store listing lasts, it is until your delete it or run out of inventory and it costs nothing to list.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

ok, while we're playing dumb... I've just started pondering a Vstore because I have just way too much stuff to get rid of. Haven't done much research on it yet, but...
If I set up a vendio store, will Ebay toss me if I have a link in my ebay auctions to my store?
I have only unique items like antique and vintage glassware and tons of historical paper.
Answers and opinions appreciated!

My initial question remains. Pros and Cons. Ebay Stores vs. Vendio Stores. I've gotten one answer from another source. And that is, Ebay charges a greater percentage on Ebay STORE sales. So, they may seem cheaper going in, HOWEVER, they make up for it coming out.

In my experience, my eBay store does much better in sales than my Vendio store did. I had a Vendio store for 8 months, and didn't sell the first thing from it. I have had my eBay store for a little over two months, and the sales are great.
That's just my experience

I second wgm. I still have both open since the Vendio store is free with my plan, but I sell maybe 1 item a month out of it and I sell at least one item a day out of my ebay store.
